2. Figure 1 Membrane fusion mechanisms.
(A) The coiled-coil domains of SNAREs bring vesicle and target membranes within close proximity, facilitating fusion. (B) In epidermal cell fusion in C. elegans, the apical junctions (AJ) hold the epidermal cells together where cell fusion is initiated. (C) A fusion pore forms at the apical junction of the membrane barrier and spreads outward behind the migrating junction. The two nuclei of the adjacent cells (N1, N2) share a common cytoplasm after fusion.
